Subject: 40 years ago tonight, It seems like all this life was just a dream . . .

A good board with audience patches, from a great venue, and what a year '72 was ! Fantastic shows throughout Europe, an epic July in Dillon, August in Veneta, and now, back home to Winterland. They would return here again NYE in just a few weeks, but this is the second of a three night triumphant return home, and boy do they nail it. Just check out great versions of really the whole setlist. Honestly, I love Loser & He's Gone, but in the 2nd set Dark Star > Stella are other-worldly as well !

Love the great ballroom sound, and even though according to Bobby, "Pigpen is convalasing from multiple, and serious illnesses, and he will probably be back with us after the first of the year" the band play amazing. Nothing stopping the train this night ! GD'72 @ Winterland ? 5*****


In the end there's just a song . . .

Subject: 1/2-Step Good, Dark Star way beyond Great
Is this the best Dark Star ever? I think it might be, and what a great matrix to listen to it !!

Thanks dusborne, Great Job on a great show.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac
files. If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be
stripped, however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
